My sister has a strange issue with her Vista laptop. 2 days ago her firefox froze up and then the whole laptop shut down, but everything was fine since. Today, it happened again, then when she booted it up it started up and then shut down. She tried again and it shut down again after a few mins, and she wasn't even using it. Ask me any questions, I will answer the best my can so hopefully you can figure out the problem.
Thanks.
